ABSTRACT
The article reveals modern approaches to building a swarm system with an emphasis on the swarm of unmanned aerial vehicles. The main components of the architecture of the swarming system were considered: swarming model, communication network, control system. The difference between the principles of controlling individual UAV and a large group (swarm) of UAVs is considered. The importance and necessity of further development of methods and systems for managing swarm systems is outlined.
KEYWORDS
